Earth, water, wind, and fire all conspired to produce a hellish catastrophe that lasted for a full five days and left Lisbon thoroughly annihilated. Nicholas Shrady's unique account of this first modern disaster and its aftereffects successfully articulates the outcome of the earthquake-the eighteenth-century equivalent of a mass media frenzy giving rise to a host of other fascinating developments, such as disaster preparedness, landmark social reform, urban planning, and the birth of seismology.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Penguin Adult Hc\/Tr","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":45408451756183,"sku":"9780143114604","price":2062.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9780143114604.webp?v=1767309923","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/the-last-day-wrath-ruin-and-reason-in-the-great-lisbon-earthquake-of-1755-9780143114604","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
